Hello All, I am back home from surgery on 3/17. Everything went fine. I am just tired and full of gas. I have been walking and it is moving, just not fast enough. I hope this gas passes soon. Other than that I really just feel the same. I am not hungry and not thirsty. Honestly, I have to remember to eat and drink. Right now I am on the stage 1 liquid diet, and I am just fine with that. I just need to get my energy back!

Dori, Thanks! How is the liquid diet going? I am so hungry and I have to take a final in two hours. Yuck! I hope my stomach doesn't growl to loud! Good luck and see you on the losing side!! Bye-Bye fat! ~Lisa

I will be there with you on the 20th...I cannot wait. Good luck to you. Hugs, Dori

I am on the 20th as well and like Maureen.... FRICKING OUT! I have been cool as a cucumber right up until last night and well liquid diet, cramps, and headaches from starvation equals POOR FAMILY! But just have to keep reminding ourselves how amazing we are going to look and feel a few months from now. Keep your eyes on the prize girls!!!! Good luck and I'll see you on the loosers side! Take good care and get lots of rest!

Hello Shelley, My Lap-Band surgery was March 4th and I am doing good although I can't tell if I am losing much. I go to the doctor Thursday for my first checkup. How about you? How are you feeling? Which surgery did you have? I still get hungry since I am still eating mostly liquids like soups, yogurt, pudding and SF popsicles. I am trying to get in more exercise. I am walking about a mile a day and ride my bicycle for two mile every other day. I still can't do any old fashioned exercise because my abdomen is sore. I think I was looking for more weight loss and I have to remember that the pounds came on because of years of over-eating and it may take a while to get off. However, once off, my goal is to keep it off. Look forward to hearing from others who had surgery about the same time. Let's cheer each other on to a new and healthier life!
